Page 71 Appendix Appendix D D-1 GHOST 5.1/6.03 Quick User’s Guide (Optional) Installation is very easy. You only need to copy the Ghost5 folder or Ghost.exe to your hard disk. The current market version is for single Client, so the LPT and NetBios portions will not be explained further.
Page 72 Appendix There are 3 hard disk functions: 1. Disk To Disk (disk cloning) 2. Disk To Image (disk backup) 3. Disk From Image (restore backup) Important! 1. To use this function, the system must have at least 2 disks. Press the Tab key to move the cursor.
Page 73 Appendix 4. Click OK to display the following confirmation screen. Select Yes to start. Disk To Image (Disk Backup) 1. Select the location of the Source drive. 2. Select the location for storing the backup file.
Page 74 Appendix 3. Click OK to display the following confirmation screen. Select Yes to start. Disk From Image (Restore Backup) 1. Select the Restore file. 2. Select the Destination drive of the disk to be restored.
Page 75 Appendix 3. When restoring disk backup, set the required partition size as shown in the following figure. 4. Click OK to display the following confirmation screen. Select Yes to start. Partition...
Page 76 Appendix There are 3 partition functions: 1. Partition To Partition (partition cloning) 2. Partition To Image (partition backup) 3. Partition From Image (restore partition) Partition To Partition (Partition Cloning) The basic unit for partition cloning is a partition. Refer to disk cloning for the operation method.
Page 77 Appendix 3. Select the path and file name for storing the backup file. 4. Is the file compressed? There are 3 options: (1) No: do not compress data during backup (2) Fast: Small volume compression (3) High: high ratio compression. File can be compressed to its minimum, but this requires longer execution time.
Page 78 Appendix Partition From Image (Restore Partition) Select the backup file to be restored. 2. Select the source partition. 3. Select the disk to be restored.
Page 79 Appendix 4. Select the partition to be restored. 5. Select Yes to start restoring. Check This function checks the hard disk or backup file for backup or restoration error due to FAT or track error.
Page 80 Appendix How to Reinstall Windows in 2 Minutes This chapter teaches you how to set your computer properly and, if necessary, reinstall Windows in 2 minutes. Ghost can use different methods to complete this task. The following two sections explain the creation of the emergency Recover Floppy and Recover CD: Emergency Recover Floppy Divide a hard disk into two partitions.
Page 81 Appendix (2) After booting, the screen displays the Menu. Select Backup or Restore: Since the user may install other applications in the future, he/she may design Autoexec.bat as a Menu to back up or restore the user- defined Image file as follows: B a c k u p B a c k u p B a c k u p...
Page 82 Appendix Recover CD In recent years, well-known computer manufacturers (such as IBM, Acer, Compaq, etc.) bundle Recover CDs with their computers to reduce the cost resulting from servicing, while at the same time increasing their market competitiveness. The following is a simple guide to how to create a recover CD: 1.
Page 83 Appendix Ghost Command Line Switches Reference Ghost may be run in interactive or in batch mode. Batch mode is useful for automat- ing installations for backups using Ghost. Most of the Ghost switches are used to assist with batch mode operation. To list switches from Ghost, type ghost.exe -h. -clone The full syntax for this switch is: clone,MODE={copy|load|dump|pcopy|pload|pdump},SRC=...
Page 84 Appendix c) DST This defines the destination location for the operation: Mode Meaning COPY/ LOAD Destination drive (e.g, 2 for drive two) DUMP Disk image filename or device,(e.g, g:\images\system2.img) PCOPY/ PLOAD Destination partition,(e.g, 2:2 indicates the second partition on drive two). PDUMP Partition image filename (e.g, g:\images\part1.img).
Page 85 Appendix data space has been satisfied will be distributed between the destination partitions in proportion to the data usage in the source partitions Someexamples follow that will help illustrate: flag Exit. Normally when Ghost has finished copying a new system to a disk, it prompts the user to reboot with a press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot window.
Page 86 Appendix Example 1: To copy drive one to drive two on a PC, without final prompt if OK to proceed. ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2 –sure Example 2: To connect via NetBIOS to another PC running Ghost in slave mode, and dump a disk image of local drive two to the remote file c:\drive2.gho ghost.exe -clone,mode=dump,src=2,dst=C:\drive2.gho -nbm Note: The slave Ghost can be started with ghost –nbs Example 3:...
